Don't think we'll be seeing any movement today other than Osvaldo. Hope i'm wrong as its always good to see a new signing coming in but do agree with Poch when he says there's no need to panic. We're in a comfortable position in the league and you'd struggle to find anyone who was there on Tuesday night who thinks we're in desperate need of new players. I admit the depth in the squad is pretty shallow and think we need to add a bit more quality to see us challenge further up the league but this can be all handled in the summer where Poch can have a good pre season with the new additions, similar to Lovren and Wanyama!

He is a young quick player with bags of potential, and we have a good record of coaching players to realise that potential. After all, J-Rod and Clyne turned out pretty well.

I see Danny Ings as less of a risk than shipping in an older player who isn't first pick for his team and firing on all cylinders.

St Redford's comment got me thinking; let's look at Jay-Rod. Now, we all love the guy, he's come on great, and he was about comparable to people like Ings / Ince when we bought him. He's our top scorer, integral to the way we play, and deserved his England call. But ...

If we are talking about 'next levels', is he going to get there? He isn't a Suarez or a Seguero, and if we were to sell him it would be clubs who are just a little up the pecking order than us, like Spurs, those just outside the very top four, who would buy him, and not Man City.

Are we going to buy the Suarez's? I'd say no, because (a) we couldn't afford it and (b) they wouldn't come here. My God, if even Rooney who is vastly over-rated can be talking about weekly wages hovering around £300,000 a week, we aren't going to get the top creme de la creme. MAybe if we were in the champions league - but to get into it, we'd have to have the players first, so it's a vicious and inpenetrable circle.

We could buy the next generation of Suarez's, if we can find them, but then every club is looking for them too, and again the mega-rich boys will be in there with mega-bucks deals before we get close.

So, where are we looking? If it's a combination of buying players like Jay-Rod and making them better, and producing our own from the academy, then the players we buy WILL be like Ings & Ince, if Poch feels he can mould them. It's pointless hoping for players higher up the ladder; we won't get them. And so that leaves the question - are we destined to hover around the 6th/7th places, with the odd cup win? And if so, will Luke etc. stay with us, or go somewhere they can win the league & be in the champions' league?

Probably - and if so, does that make us a selling club? No, even Man U couldn't hold on to Ronaldo, or Arsenal to Van Persie. Unambitious? no, we have the ambition to get to the top, but ambition alone doesn't get you there - these days, it's money.

So, how do we feel? Personally, I don't give a monkey's nuts; I support the team, win or lose, whatever division, whoever plays. I'd prefer to see us win the quadruple every year, obviously, but I was born in Southampton and I'll never change that allegiance for winning things. It's not about success; it's about tribal allegiance to my team. And if the cold wind of reality in the current football climate is that we aren't going to get above 6th, apart from the odd season where something exceptional happens, I won't complain - as long as we are always trying to paly good football, which is all I really give a **** about.

And I think that I am more proud of my team for producing so many first-team academy products, for believing in youth, for playing great football, for attacking Arsenal without fear and giving them the game of their lives, for being led by SRL, the modern-day Roy of the Rovers, for singing "One Marcus Leibher" at every game, than any Man City fan could ever be of being taken over by a oil-rich sheikh who buys a team - albeit a great one - who win everything in sight.

Even though he is a saints fan, Ings is not good enough to improve on what we have already! More importantly I have man flu so have a whole day of watching transfer deadline!!

How about Javier Hernandez on loan, proven premier league goal-scorer and maybe someone like Micah Richards at the back. Ha is only MoPo came on this forum and took note of our requests :) I still think we can push on and get 8th maybe even 7th depending how Everton do in second half of the season. Lets not just settle for 9th but seek to have a great second half to the season and then lets see where the land lies. Shame Dani didn't work out but we don't want players here who damage the team and work ethic. Lets keep hold of Luke and lets give Fulham a stuffing tomorrow....

Victor W has played centre-back at Celtic,will be intresting to see if MoPo deploys him there and Cork then remains in midfield....so i think maybe a striker wll be brought in, if that tool dani leaves

Hernandez is a decent poacher but the rest of his play is pretty bad. He has an absolutely terrible first touch, so I'm not sure how well he'd fit in given we ask our strikers to do much more than just lurk in the box and score goals.

I dunno - my guess is we'll sign a striker from either Spain or Italy.

Doesn't look like too much happening on signings - MoPo looked very relaxed yesterday (and thankfully back to his normal self). Maybe looking more for someone to boost the back-up squad rather than a major regular player?

Nonetheless, I'll be hoping for a nice surprise right up until the deadline.

A friend who's in the Green Party says all this transfer frenzy is a result of global warming.

I was also going to post my own opinion re: St. Retford, however you beet me to it!!!!
All I can add about D. Ings is, bring him in, get him to Staplewood, let him play when there are (hopefully not!) injuries and then, first team next season..... Job Done!! 10 years out of him at least.... Oh and he's English.

We DO need center back though please!

its easy to say `buy younger players and mould them` but that doesn't always work, we have had great success with clyne and j-rod but they were studied extensively before we brought them in, ings probably more so and it doesn't look like we are interested. I think too many people are getting hung up on the fact that he`s a saints fan. that might make him an excellent person who shows outstanding ability to make the proper and correct decisions in life, but not necessarily the right player. we should be aiming for higher than what we already have.
we are able to get champions league players, as we did it last window. dejan and Big Vic were playing in the champions league and they are top quality international who the top clubs were after, and who would say that either wouldn't look out of place at manure or chelski. we may only buy 1 player this window, might not even do that, so lets hope we can bring in someone of their quality.

St Redford's comment got me thinking; let's look at Jay-Rod. Now, we all love the guy, he's come on great, and he was about comparable to people like Ings / Ince when we bought him. He's our top scorer, integral to the way we play, and deserved his England call. But ...
If we are talking about 'next levels', is he going to get there? He isn't a Suarez or a Seguero, and if we were to sell him it would be clubs who are just a little up the pecking order than us, like Spurs, those just outside the very top four, who would buy him, and not Man City.
Are we going to buy the Suarez's? I'd say no, because (a) we couldn't afford it and (b) they wouldn't come here. My God, if even Rooney who is vastly over-rated can be talking about weekly wages hovering around £300,000 a week, we aren't going to get the top creme de la creme. MAybe if we were in the champions league - but to get into it, we'd have to have the players first, so it's a vicious and inpenetrable circle.
We could buy the next generation of Suarez's, if we can find them, but then every club is looking for them too, and again the mega-rich boys will be in there with mega-bucks deals before we get close.
So, where are we looking? If it's a combination of buying players like Jay-Rod and making them better, and producing our own from the academy, then the players we buy WILL be like Ings & Ince, if Poch feels he can mould them. It's pointless hoping for players higher up the ladder; we won't get them. And so that leaves the question - are we destined to hover around the 6th/7th places, with the odd cup win? And if so, will Luke etc. stay with us, or go somewhere they can win the league & be in the champions' league?
Probably - and if so, does that make us a selling club? No, even Man U couldn't hold on to Ronaldo, or Arsenal to Van Persie. Unambitious? no, we have the ambition to get to the top, but ambition alone doesn't get you there - these days, it's money.
So, how do we feel? Personally, I don't give a monkey's nuts; I support the team, win or lose, whatever division, whoever plays. I'd prefer to see us win the quadruple every year, obviously, but I was born in Southampton and I'll never change that allegiance for winning things. It's not about success; it's about tribal allegiance to my team.

Re:Tony in Liberia's post (too big to quote) very interesting and stirred the emotions regarding loyalty to Saints, agree with a lot of what you say, plus, look what happened when we tried to go for a so called 'big player' albeit one with some history.
Only thing I would add is, we still need some ambition to be a top 6 team or we never will make it, let's not settle for a mid table safe strategy, better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all, as the saying goes.
I think Ings would be a solid addition to the team (if he lost some weight and got a bit fitter, like Rickie did) and although he may never set the world alight, he would be a decent and loyal player for some time to come.
What we have to do to add to the 'solid' players is spot and develop the next Suarez while they are affordable, that's our top 6 strategy.

If saints dont sign another strike we are going to be short upfront. I know Gallagaher seems to be settling in to the first team nicely and gave a good performance against Arsenal. However knowing that Rickie has picked up a few niggling injuries as or late compared to over the past few seasons i feel that if we dont get another striker we are going to be really short if some one gets injured for a few weeks. Alot of other teams are signing some pretty good players and could possibly pick up some much needed points in the second halg of the season. Saints cant afford to rest on what weve got. Danny fox has left which straight away leave us short of a natural left back, I know weve got Taggert waiting in the wings but not yet tried and tested at prem level. I think to carry on progressing up the league we need a couple of additions or were just going to be looking to finish up pretty much where we are now.

Why would you say that? The Lovren and Wanyama signings were down to the scouting network whereas Osvaldo was clearly the club backing a hunch of MoPo that he could be 'tamed' and use his powers for good.

Turned out MoPo wasn't right about that, but you cannot knock the other two summer signings - they've been absolute mustard.

I'm all for buying younger players and 'moulding' them but in the case of Danny Ings we've literally already had him on the books and had all the time in the world to see if he could be moulded to the level we want. Someone who knows more than us thought he couldn't so let's leave it at that?

I've nothing against Ings - I'm sure he's a lovely bloke - but every transfer window there's a section of the fanbase who latch onto some player from the championship and chant their name like a mantra as though they're the solution to all our problems. It's Ings this season and it was Tom Ince last season. Truth is, I don't believe either are really good enough and clearly the club doesn't either so let's move on, no?

Made me laugh when one of the press pack asked Taarabt: "Why Milan?". I think a general "Why!!!???" would have been more appropriate.

If you needed any proof that the Italian League is a completely different beast to the Premier League (and thus a risky place to buy from) consider the following:
The Italian league leaders seem desperate to buy Dani Osvaldo
Taarabt goes from Fulham/QPR reserves to AC Milan

Yep. And the big teams must be thanking their lucky stars they didn't take a risk on Lallana, Spider, Cork or Lambert when they were in the Championship - clearly not up to the job and the top clubs knew it. * Please note this is said in irony *

That's not to say I particularly rate Ings or Ince (I'm sure the scouts have watched both a lot more than I have), just making the point.

You right about Ings and Ince but who can we sign, who wants to play for Saints Knowing that we are not in the Champions League or Europa League ?. I say let the club establish itself in the EPL for anther year and maybe reach a final of some cup then maybe let's talk about Europe if we still have Lallana, Rodriguez and so on ..

If saints dont sign another strike we are going to be short upfront. I know Gallagaher seems to be settling in to the first team nicely and gave a good performance against Arsenal. However knowing that Rickie has picked up a few niggling injuries as or late compared to over the past few seasons i feel that if we dont get another striker we are going to be really short if some one gets injured for a few weeks. Alot of other teams are signing some pretty good players and could possibly pick up some much needed points in the second halg of the season. Saints cant afford to rest on what weve got. Danny fox has left which straight away leave us short of a natural left back, I know weve got Taggert waiting in the wings but not yet tried and tested at prem level. I think to carry on progressing up the league we need a couple of additions or were just going to be looking to finish up pretty much where we are now.

Haha! Taggert. Nice.

You know you have made it at the Saints when the posters spell your name wrong, Fox was the only one that they have always got right.

Just on the subject of Osvaldo going for a medical with his potential new employers, I hope it's not the same process some people have to go through when they apply for a job and having to submit a character reference as part of their application :)

Why would you say that? The Lovren and Wanyama signings were down to the scouting network whereas Osvaldo was clearly the club backing a hunch of MoPo that he could be 'tamed' and use his powers for good.

Turned out MoPo wasn't right about that, but you cannot knock the other two summer signings - they've been absolute mustard.

Plus two, minus one, not a good return in my opinion.

Now I for one have been impressed with this transfer window -not so much for who we have got in - none - but for the fact that our stars are still here and we have shifted so much 'dead wood'.
In summary:
Outs: Martin Fox Lee Barnard Sharp (Sold Punch) and likely Osvaldo.

In the summer we must extend the contract of Jack Cork and shift Hoover Guly and Forte which will then allow us under FFP to acquire the four we need to push on (CB, LB, Poacher and winger). I have kept Gaston and brought back Makuya.

LETS HOPE THERE ARE SILLY SURPRISES COME 11PM COYR

Ospers, dare I say it that 2 minus 1 should still be a positive in your philosophy.
I think the scouting network is probably at a stage now for football clubs that there are few surprises or hidden treasures to unearth. It’s all about who is prepared to pay the top dollar for somebody now.

I still think Punch could have done well for us.
Bye Mr Fox. Thanks for the work in the lower leagues.
Billy never got his chance with us which was a shame as I think he would have done better than a £15M Italian.
Aaron needs play time and should do well at Brum.
Barnard also needs first team action somewhere.
And finally, Osvaldo.... what a dic! Hope Lallana, Shaw, Clyne, J-Rod, Cork, JWP, Sam and Sir Rickie get to knock you out of the World Cup!

That's my point, though: the 'scouting network' chose two and they were both amazing. That's a success rate of exactly 100%. That means they're better at buying players than Le Tiss was at penalties.

clubcall suggesting that MP is `considering a move for Espanyol forward Sergio Garcia.` after Dani has gone.
Has he got to wait for Dani to leave before he brings someone in? is that why there`s been no news?
Osprey get yourself down to the airport to see if anyone`s landing.

My thoughts are the same regarding the clear out. It seems that as soon as Cortese went then so did a bunch of fringe players, or is that just coincidence?

As you say, maybe it's clearing the decks for a summer recruitment drive. And we go with what we already have till the end of this season. I'd like to see one in though, but only if it's a player with the right temperament and ability.
Keeping what we have,. would be good Then we have plenty of time to assess the youngsters and target the right type of players in the summer, that will fit in with the present tight knit group we already have.

Just goes to show with the osvaldo situation you don't always get the right type of player, By just spending millions. Hope the club learns rom this episode though.

I'm glad we've given so many players a chance to get on with their careers rather than keep them hostage in some sort of financially lucrative but ultimately soul-destroying limbo. I wonder how much this has to do with our new leadership and how much was going to happen anyway?

For me the most telling comment has been that Osvaldo has taken a massive pay cut to go to Juve.
It makes me think he only came here for the money.
A disappointing saga throughout and it gives ammunition to those who said he only came because we were the only ones who would take a chance on him. This might be borne out by the fact that Juve have got him on loan at first and on the cheap. They only pay for him if he is a success, a double edged blade. If he is a success will £15m be a realistic price and will Juve sell him on at a profit later? Do we bother with a sell-on clause?
How many new players will Fulham have tomorrow?
Arsene was right, the transfer window is so unfair.
Fulham were **** for the first part of the season and tomorrow they could be a completely different team, alternatively they could have so many new players they don't have a clue who each other are.
How did Lewis Holtby go from outstanding German international to loanee to bottom three club?

How annoying is it that Chelsea can spend £12m on a player, that they don't actually want or need and then send him out on loan to the Club they bought him from, I suppose at 19yo he is young and will benefit from getting more playing time, would struggle to make the bench at Chelsea?

That is what is so annoying about it, I reckon he could be playing in the EPL now, but isn't going to get a chance.

Sky Sports says there is little happening anywhere because everyone in football is too busy watching Sky Sports to see if anything's happening. In fact Sky Sports have shown footage of someone watching Sky Sports. Also, having got wind of the story, the BBC have just shown film of the Sky Sports cameraman filming someone watching Sky Sports - and ITV have broadcast shots of the the BBC filming the Sky Sports cameraman who was filming someone watching Sky Sports.

Apparently, BT Sport have sent someone down to try and get pictures of the ITV camaraman filming the BBC filming Sky Sports filming somebody watching Sky Sports. By 10pm there could be an absolutely massive line of cameramen filming each other filming each other.

It's all very exciting.

This really is a huge media event.

Yes, it's like the rumour that we would sell Luke and loan him back for the rest of the season - why would either party even want to do that? Probably because they'd know it was his only real chance of getting a game and progressing, which begs the question why buy him in the first place?

Hernandez loan till the end of the season makes sense for him, it will get him a regular game, sort out his world cup chances and then puts him in the shop window for Europes big clubs in the summer.

I don't believe the financial figures that are stated about the Osvaldo deal. No footballer these days ever accepts a pay cut. Let alone one from £50,000 a week to £17,500 a week. Can you imagine the conversation with his agent when such a deal is proposed? No, I fear that the report means that Juventus will pay him £17,500 while we still have to pay the rest of the wage bill.

the great thing is that Osvaldo appears to have gone. That is the best transfer news that we can hope for today.

Osvaldo you are a disgrace and have badly let yourself and the club who put so much trust in you down.

Business all but completed then. A couple of useful strikers moved elsewhere and slipped through our fingers. A little saddened to see Puncheon go. For better for worse it's down to Sam Gallagher to fill the space. Not in dismay as relegation is not on the cards but would've like to see a striker, Ince and maybe a centre back added.
COYR - 2nd half of the season looks like being a happy time.

We couldn't afford a bad rushed transfer so we will carry on with a thin squad and give youngsters a chance. I'm sure we will sign good players in the summer when it can be done properly and not at inflated prices (other than all prices are inflated!)

Probably a wise strategy. Of the areas where we might lack cover, we have right backs who can cover left back and 3 strikers, including Gallagher. There is cover at centre half – a bit dodgy perhaps but I thought Yashida did well against Arsenal.

We must never take the really, really good news for granted - big clubs with bottomless pockets didn't even bother try to prise our young stars away - we are no longer a selling club. That may change in the future but for now lets celebrate it - and give thanks for the owners, for Cortese and for whoever had to deal with the window this past week.

We couldn't afford a bad rushed transfer so we will carry on with a thin squad and give youngsters a chance. I'm sure we will sign good players in the summer when it can be done properly and not at inflated prices (other than all prices are inflated!)

Probably a wise strategy. Of the areas where we might lack cover, we have right backs who can cover left back and 3 strikers, including Gallagher. There is cover at centre half – a bit dodgy perhaps but I thought Yashida did well against Arsenal.

We must never take the really, really good news for granted - big clubs with bottomless pockets didn't even bother try to prise our young stars away - we are no longer a selling club. That may change in the future but for now lets celebrate it - and give thanks for the owners, for Cortese and for whoever had to deal with the window this past week.

I don't know what the odds are for finishing ninth but suggest it's a great bet if something reasonable available. Let's really go for the cup.

Might even be worth a punt on 8th given what happened to Newcastle in the window.

Should see more of Rickie now. Still think he can go to Brazil provided he ups his game and has a strong finish to the season.

Aye, he needs to get his game on. Carroll showed the other night that he's a right bag of bumwash so if Rickie can find 10 goals between now and the end of the season then it's happy days.

In his house. I'd taken delivery of a parcel for him.

Off to Fulham tomorrow. If we play anything like Tuesday it's three points provided we can put it away.

Has he moved into Rickie's old house?

Fulham should be fairly easy. They're a) sh1te and b) probably not that well prepared given how busy they've been signing players today.

They were talking about Morgan a few weeks ago on Sunday morning show saying he was worth at least 25 million. So that is either nonsense or Wenger has tried one of his cheapie raids. Either way he would not of gone same as Adam, just paper nonsense.

Can see Poch's view that this move was a bit unexpected a couple of weeks a go, so really wants to be certain he brings in the right players rather than rush buy.

Reckon if Gallagher gets a run he may prove more useful than Osvaldo. Would of liked to see the defence strengthened. Yet the future is still bright and its still red and white. Hopefully stripey red and white next season

I think Osvaldo has let everyone involved with the club down. In the first instance the manager, but also the players, the (then) chairman and the fans. He has so much quality but he has betrayed the trust shown in him by Southampton. A real shame.

Oh well, the Saints will continue their march. COYR!!!

Having a spouse and children is expensive. Apart from having to get a bigger place, one also has to feed them and get insurance for them in case they get sick. The annual survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation discovered that the cost of family health insurance is also increasing, though the boost this year was moderate compared to last year. You can pay your health insurance premium with an installment loan.

Stay single then, it won't bother you, by the way the boiler at Staplewood is fine, there was no need for Hernandez the Southern Gas fitter to attend at all.
